Release Mobile Apps

Use this skill for Android/iOS store publishing preparation.

Workflow

1. Verify release scope, target version, and rollout plan.
2. Run quality gates:
   • flutter analyze
   • test suite relevant to release scope
   • smoke tests on release candidates
3. Android path:
   • validate signing setup and app versioning
   • build release artifact (flutter build appbundle)
   • verify Play Console metadata readiness
4. iOS path:
   • validate signing/capabilities and versioning
   • build release artifact (flutter build ipa or archive flow)
   • verify App Store Connect metadata readiness
5. Confirm policy/compliance declarations (privacy, permissions, data safety as applicable).
6. Create release notes and rollout strategy.
7. Submit and monitor post-release health metrics.
8. If CI pipeline is missing, create it with ../../commands/setup-mobile-github-pipeline.md and ../../templates/github_actions_flutter_mobile_ci.yml.

Guardrails

• Do not mark release ready without artifact build evidence.
• Keep Android/iOS signing and versioning checks explicit.
• Flag missing compliance metadata as blockers, not warnings.
• When evidence is missing, return BLOCKED instead of speculative readiness.

Required output

1. Android readiness status (+ artifact path if built).
2. iOS readiness status (+ artifact/archive status).
3. Validation commands run and outcomes.
4. Blocking gaps before submission.
5. Immediate next actions to unblock release.
